GRANDPA'S PET.

4 bundle of sweetness rolled up In blue
A round curly head that was golden.
Two wee chubby hands that came peeping
through,
And ne'er to one thing could be holden.
Such lump of fun as eyes never met,
And the whole went by the name of grand
pas pet.
He's up in the morning when daylight breaks
And every one knows all about it;
The day begins just when Roger awakes,
And none are so hardy TO doubt it.
An autocrat. he, whose wish must be met;
All must bow TO the reign of grandpa's pet
ca he want a crown? He'll have grandpa
hat
The coal-scuttle serves him to fish in:
When he chooses to ride he'll ride the cat,
And pussy must bend in submission.
He cannot do wrong-he never did yet
Why, the world was made just for grandpa's
pet.
When he makes crows nest in grandpa's
wig,
Then the old man is ready to kiss him;
He draws his snuff-box about for gig,
And the worst word that's said is God bless
himl
All clocks in the house to his time are set
Well, there's nobody there but grandpa's pet
What pity we cannot always be young,
And rule like a king in his glory;
What pity that Time, with his iron tongue,
Must change the sweet tune of life's story.
Alasl that we lose in the furry and fret
The dream of the time we were grandpa's

CLIMBING BIRDS.

The climbing birds feed upon insects
or fruit, and build their nests in holes in
the tree trunks; and being naturally poor
fliers, they prefer to pass most of their
time among the branches. Their toes are
well suited to this kind of life, since they
are arranged in pairs, one pair on the
front of the foot and the other pair be.
hind, enabling them to grasp the bough
firmly.
But parrots do not depend upon their
toes alone in climbing. Their strong
hooked bills are also brought into service,
and they use them in such way as almost
to supply the place of third foot. The
soft, feshy tongue of parrot is unlike
that of other birds, for it may be moved
in any direction, and it is partly on this
account that parrots can be taught to i'm
itate the human voice. Their tones, how
ever, are shrill and harsh, and they have
generally but few words in which to utter
their set phrases.
The forests OF South America and Aus
tralia are especially rich in parrots, and
the plumage of these tropical birds is re-
markably brilliant. Green is often the
prevailing color; but in some species the
red tints predominant.
Quite different from the parrots are the
active little woodpeokers, which we most
ly see standing upright on the tree trunks,
with the stiff points of their tail feathers
pressed against the trunk. Supported in
this way, the birds hop up the trees by a
succession of quick jumps, making the
while peculiar tapping sound by strik-
ing the beak upon the tree.
They are now hunting for insects and
grubs hidden beneath the bark. When
hollow sound proceeds from this tap
ping the bird is encouraged to drill a hole
into the bark with its long straight besk,
hoping to find its favorite food. II the
search is successful, the woodpecker then
puts out its sticky tongue, which is armed
near the end with sharp barbs pointing
backward like fish-hook, and draws the
insect from its lodging place. This Gu
rious tongue is fastened to cartilages
which extend up back of the skull and
over to the forehead, in consequence of
which arrangement the tongue can be
thrust out some distance beyond the
beak.
The limbs of apple.trees and naples
are sometimes found pierced by rows of
little holes, extending in rings one above
another quite around the stem. and it is
supposed that the woodpeckers have
bored these holes to get at the sap in win.
ter-a plan somewhat similar to that
practiced by farmers in obtaining sap
from which to make maple sugar.

HISTORIC DOGS.

Every one remembers the dog of
Ulysses, who died in greeting his master
just returned from his long wanderings,
and the story shows the consideration in
which the dog was held in the heroic
ages of Greece.
The old Persians, too, held the dog in
high esteem; to the Magians he was a
sacred animal, the representative and
friend OF Ormuzd, the Benefcent, and the
great satraps were distinguished by their
trains of hunting dogs, as was the king
himself, and Xerxes set out for the con-
quest of Greece surrounded by great
body guard of faithful dogs.
Those most highly priced by the Per-
slams came from India, SO called, prob
ably from the Bactrian regions, where
the dog is still held in high repute.
Captain Woods tells us that the old
fashioned Uzbeg would think it no insult
to be asked to sell his wife, but would
resent an offer for his dog as an unpar
donable affront; while among the border
tribes of Turkestan the epithet of the
dog seller is one of the profoundest con-
tempt.
Indeed, the birthplace of nations is
probably the original home of the dog,
and when our Aryan ancestors began to
migrate westward from their ancient
seats with their focks and herds they
brought with them, no doubt, their fierce
and faithful dogs, who have left their
descendants of to-day-the English
mastiff, the Pyrenean sheep dog, the
Albanian wolf-hound.
Ancient laws, too, record the estima-
ton in which the dog was held. ga herd
dog that goes for the sheep in the morn
ing and follows them home at night is
worth the best OK" says the ancient laws
of Wales.
The best herd dogs of the present day
perhaps are the Breton sheep dogs
rough, shaggy, uncouth-with an aspect
as if they had little of the blood OF
Bruin in their veins, but highly valued
by their possessors, who are not to be
tempted into parting with them by any
thing under the price of the best OK; and
the Breton dog is one of the most saga
cious of his kind, watching and tending
his focks with an almost Incredible zeal
and devotion.-AH the Year Round.

THE BEES STING A USEFUL
TOOL

A new champion has arisen 10 defend
the honey bee from the obloquy under
which it has always rested. Mr.. William
F. Clarke, of Canada, claims to have dis
covered from repeated observations, that
the most important function Of the bees
sting is not singing. In a recent article
he says: "My observations and reflections
have convinced me that the most import
ant Office of the bee sting is that which is
performed in doing the artistic cell work,
Gaping the comb, and infusing the for
mic acid by means OF which honey re-
ceives its keeping qualities. AS said at
Detroit, the sting is really a skillfully
contrived little trowel, with which the
bee finishes off and caps the cells
when they are filled brimful of honey.
This explains why honey extracted be-
fore it is capped over does not keep we'll.
The formic acid has not been injected
into it. This is done in the very act of
putting the last touches on the cell work.
AS the little plant trowel is worked to
and fro with such dexterity, the darts
of which there are two, pierce the plastic
cell surface and leave the nectar beneath
it's thy drops of the fluid, which makes
it keep we'll. This is the art preservative
of honey. A most wonderful provision
of nature, truly! Herein we see that the
sting and the poison bag, with which so
many of us would like to dispense, are
essential to the storage of our coveted
product, and that without them the beau
tiful comb honey of commerce would be
thing unknown.
II these things are SO, how mistaken
those people are who suppose the bee
is, like the prince OF evil, always going
about prowling in search of a victim.
The fact is that the bee attends to its
own business very diligently, and has no
time to waste in unnecessary quarrels.
A bee is like a farmer working with a
fork in his hay field. He is fully occu-
pied and very busy. If molested or
meddled with, he will be very apt to de-
fend himself with the instrument he is
working with. This is what the bee does;
and man, by means of his knowledge OF
the nature and habits of this wondrous
little insect, is enabled in most cases, to
ward off or evade attack Scientific

Dora was poUting because she could
not go in the carriage with her mother.
She thought it very cruel that she must
stay at home when she wanted to go so
much. So she did not answer, but sat by
the window pouting till the carriage was
gone. Then she said to herself: 81 don't
feel like sweeping, and don't care how 1
do it. l think it's too bad that can't go

So she swept the sitting room in very
needless manner. She did not get the
dust pan and take up the litter; she only
brushed it together and left it under the
hearth rug.

Let no boy think he can be made gen.

he rides, the stick he carries, the dog that

or the money he spends. Not one or all
of these do it-and yet every boy may be

cheap clothes, live in q poor house and
spend but little money. But how? By
being true, manly and honorable. By

holes in the trees in which to pass the
winter, taking the precaution to select
post, sheltered from rain and snow by an
overhaDging branch. Such cavities make
snug, warm homes; but when spring
comes, the woodpecker leaves it's winter
quarters, and hollows out new nest in
the solid live wood of the tree trunk,
carefully chipping away the inner surface
to give it a smooth finish. The circular
entrance to the nest is merely large enough
to admit the bird, and after reaching the
center of the tree the tunnel turns down
ward, and enlarges into the shape of
large pear. The pure white eggs are laid
on the chips at the bottom of this nest.
The European cuckoo has found an
easier plan than this, for she builds no
nest at all. In fact, she lays her eggs in
the nests of other birds, and has the as
surance to leave them there to be Matched.
Generally she deposits but one egg in a
nest, and the young cuckoo is brought up
by its foster-parents at the expense of
their own young, for this intruder soon
shows the selfish disposition of its race.
This peculiar habit of appropriating the
nests of other birds is possessed also by
the cow-bunting of America; but our
cuckoo makes nest and raises her young
ones in the usual manner.
The enormous bill of the toucan is not
SO heavy as one might suppose, for in
stead of being solid, it is followed out to
contain great many air cells. Its shape
too, is admirable for robbing nests and
deep holes of the eggs and young birds
on which the toucan feeds, tossing them
first into the air, and catching them as
they fall. Neither is the bill too large to
be snugly tucked away among the feath-
ers when the bird is preparing for sleep.
Toucans are confined to the tropical re-
gions of South America, where they as
semble in large focks.-Harper's Young
People.
